Subject: RE: Obit: Margaret Thatcher Dead (1925-2013)
Peter t Squeezer ~~ Those whose husbands, brothers, fathers, sons, serve in the armed services are in constant danger of hearing of their deaths in battle. It is part of the contract their menfolk undertake in opting for that profession. But if the engagement in which they lose their lives is a victory rather than a defeat, then of course it is a matter for rejoicing on the part of the population at large, as well as for pride on the part of the bereaved. At the age of 20+ you should have had sense enough to appreciate that. At the age now of, I estimate, 50+, you should certainly know better than to denounce the leader who called for such rejoicing as a "callous, vindictive cow [with] audacity". You should be ashamed of such a post ~~ but I don't suppose you are.
